Nothing to be sorry about! Difference of opinion/life experiences. Like I
said
the K51/BC-610 changes things though I have 2 of each of the 2 receivers
and the last set works! So it will come down to how much do I want to
transmit
both in $$ to buy a BC-610 that works as opposed to one that looks purdy.
The K51 is a 'lady in waiting' to be restored. I have already purchased
the
PE-95 genset for it and got it running well. It may be a while yet before a
decision
needs to be made on the license although this week I will pick up the new
engine
for the truck...
